    La Candelaria Discovery was the highlight of the tour

    Exploring La Candelaria was a mesmerizing journey through Colombia's storied past. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its cobblestoned streets whispered tales of centuries gone by. The colonial-era Cathedral Primada de Colombia stood as a majestic testament to the country's religious heritage, its towering spires reaching the heavens. The neoclassical Capitolio Nacional and the Supreme Court of Justice showcased Colombia's architectural splendour and political significance. Capturing the beauty of Bogota's City Hall was a highlight, with its grand facade reflecting the city's vibrant spirit. My guide illuminated Colombia's history and architecture with each step, leaving me with a profound appreciation for this remarkable city.
